<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"initial",serif">NCAT ended up in Butter MT because Mike Mansfield, the retiring Speaker of the House wanted to help out Butte which was in terminal decline and gradually falling into the ever increasing maw of
Anaconda Cooper's humongous open pit copper mine. I recall MM was somehow associated with the Montana School of Mines in Butte. Any way Jerry Puckett, the director of a MHD Research Center also in Butte teamed up with Dick Saul who was spear heading a major
drive by the dying War on Poverty to use the enthusiasm awakened by Fritz Schumacher's book Small Is Beautiful to revitalize the OEO. They got MM to tag a 3.5 million dollar rider to an omnibus appropriation bill to fund the start up of NCAT in Butte. If it
worked AT was supposed to bring a small is beautiful revolution to Butte and unleash new Gandhi inspired little AT industries that would compensate for the demise of copper mining. Needless to say NCAT failed to deliver an explosion of little AT inspired jobs
in Butte but it did reorient some of the 1500 community action agencies all round the USA!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
